Rismnrck's speech.

[By Anglo-Amerlcan cable TO the Dispatch
VIENNA, January 13.-Prince BsmIrck's
speech has been read by piecemeal in the
public resorts OF this city, creating as much
OF a sensation as so many war bulletins.
LONDON, January B.-A st. Petersburg
correspondent Of the Times says The
speeches in the Reiehstag give no gratitica-
ton TO the Russian press after the remarks
OF VI. Flourens, whom the Russian papers
lauded 10 the skies.
The N0roe Vreaya. NOUOst, and other,
received the German speeches with the
greatest skepticism and mstrust. The
Vienna papers heartily approve Bismarck's
language relative to France, but the pas
sages relating to Austria are not read with
much pleasure.
ST. PETERSBURG, January i3.-The jour
nal de 81. Petersburg considers the speech
of Bismarck, and that OF Sadi CarnOtat the
rCassembing Of the French Senate, As tend
ing to the preservation Of peace, which, It
says, every Government OF Europe Is try
